A man has been arrested by police after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort during a walkabout in York, Charmingpro reports.
The 23-year-old was held on suspicion of a public order offence and is in custody for questioning, North Yorkshire Police said.
As the eggs landed, a suited protection officer positioned himself next to the King and briefly held his shoulder.
People in the crowd booed and shouted “God save the King” and “shame on you”.
The protester was heard to shout “this country was built on the blood of slaves” as he was detained.
The King nearly stepped in one of the eggs but appeared unruffled and continued walking.
The incident occurred on the second day of an official royal visit to Yorkshire, during which the King and Queen Consort later travelled to Doncaster.
